Guy- Fastest walking speed and attack speed. Deals the weakest damage per hit. Deals more damage with the Sword pick-up, and has the fastest swing. Special move (attack + jump) has the shortest range.

Cody- Walking speed is just slightly slower than Guy. Attack speed and damage is between Guy and Haggar. Cody has the ability to wield the knife in the same way he would a pipe or sword (rather than throwing it), his knife strikes have range equal to his standard attack but do more damage and knock down his opponents. Special move (attack + jump) has greatest range (just slightly greater than Haggar).

Haggar- Slowest walking speed. Deals the greatest damage per hit, but has the slowest standard attack. Wields the pipe faster and for more damage than the other two characters. Has two special attacks, the standard (attack + jump) which has medium range and deals strong damage and the jumping piledriver (grab, then jump and while airborne press attack) which is thesingle strongest move in the game. The piledriver can hit enemies on the way down for basic damage.

Magic Sword:

There are several characters with can be used as sidekicks in the game, each with advantages and disadvantages:

When playing as Cody or Guy there is a trick to keep your opponent stunned till there life runs out.

As either character face your enemy and press the attack button twice to strike two quick jabs. Immediately push the opposite direction on the d-pad or analog stick and press attack again to throw your third attack at nothing. Now turn back and repeat. If done correctly the enemy will take two hits and remain stunned till you turn back to strike again, be careful not to shift up or down as you will miss the attack and void the combo.

You will need three playthroughs (one with each character) to get the three basic trophies in this game.

Do not try to do your speed levels and point levels in the same game.Changing characters mid-level will not qualify as clearing the level with either character.All trophies can be earned online or off on any difficulty.If you play a local game you will be able to restart an individual level show you miss an objective.You will need to do one of your runs co-op, personally I recommend the speed run. See Final Fightersfor notes about co-op problems.

First run (points)

Doing the point run first will allow you to get a sense of where and how many opponents are in each level. Haggar is a good choice since his speed is so slow, but his attacks are strong. Don't worry about continues in this run and just try to get a sense of where the difficult spots are.

Second run (speed)

Choose either Guy or Cody and try to get through as quickly as you can. In many places you do not need to kill all the enemies on the screen, keep moving forward and only stop to fight when the screen stops advancing.

Third run (clean-up)

Choose the last of the three characters and move at a comfortable pace. Target any task in the vault you have not yet accomplished.

Magic Sword:

You will need at least three runs to complete all task in the vault.

For co-op credit you cannot use any of the secret warps and must complete all 50 levels start to finish.For co-op credit the second player must join at the beginning of the first level, this is not a sensitive as the Final Fight requirement.

First run (co-op)

Try to get it out of the way first. Use this run to find out which sidekick works best for you. After you defeat the final boss choose to either take or destroy the black pearl.

Second run (first warp set)

During this run you'll be using the warps listed below under Locksmith, use as many as you can. You cannot do them all in one run as some will force you skip levels that contain warps. After you defeat the final boss choose the option you did not choose in your first run.

Third run (second warp set)

Use this run to get any warps you had previously missed and clean-up any additional task needed. The ending you choose does not matter.

Coin GobblerFinal Fight™: Complete all levels using less than 18 continues.

This is a fairly simple task. Just keep an eye on your life bar and try to keep all your enemies to one side of you.

This trophy is easier to obtain in co-op as the enemies will be divided between you both.

You can lower the difficulty level if needed.

Enemies do not usually attack from offscreen, with the exception of charge attacks, so if you knock an opponent off screen advance to the edge and continue attacking. They will usually try to reenter in the same spot and will walk into your attack.

Watch out for Andore Jr. if he knocks you down he will usually try to do a sit drop for additional damage. This attack is devastating and difficult to avoid, however if you push up or down while on the ground recovering there is a small chance you will shift up as you stand and be missed by the attack.

Level 3 The Westside

Tier 1

Toggle Spoiler

Beat Edi. E- Edi. E is the boss of the level, defeat him to unlock. At first Edi is fairly simple, his billy club strikes are annoying but simple combos will take him down or grab him to avoid counter attacks. Once his life goes down about half way he will begin using his gun. DO NOT approach him when he is on the sides of the screen and waiting to fire. Try to strike him as he transitions from the left to right side of the screen or throw minions at him when he is at the sides.

Beat the Westside in less than 12 lives- There are two areas in the Westside that may give you some trouble. The first happens just after leaving the nightclub and Andore Jr. grabs you. Here you will be placed in an area to face 2 (in single player) or 3 (in co-op) members of the Andore family. There are several weapons here to help you, but it may be easier to just use basic strikes. Try not to get trapped between two members and watch out for a rush as they recover from being knocked down. If playing co-op watch out for each other, if one of you is knocked down have the other player attack the Andore responsible before he tries for the sit drop. The second area is Edi. E, described above, other than that the level is fairly easy.

Level 4 Industrial Area

Tier 1

Toggle Spoiler

Beat Rolento- Rolento is the boss for this area and is the second most annoying boss in the game. A lot of your fight with him will come down to luck. Try to strike or grab him when he is on the ground and watch out for his grenades when he pauses or moves up to the higher platform. DO NOT charge him directly or he will strike you with his nightstick. Haggar's piledriver is very effective if you can get a hold of Rolento.

Beat the Industrial Area in under 10 minutes- There are three areas in this level that may slow you down. This first is at the very beginning of the stage, watch out for the fire geysers as they will knock you down and delay your progress. During the area where you fight a wave of enemies with waves of fire geysers on the floor; try to position yourself in the upper right corner of the screen and strike off screen. The fire will cover your back and you will strike any enemies approaching you. The second is the start of the elevator ride before Rolento, try not to get trapped between your enemies or in a corner. The final spot is Rolento, most likely this will be the determining factor for whether or not you make it in under the time limit.

Beat the Industrial Area in less than 10 lives- Watch out for the same areas that are mentioned in the under 10 minutes note.

Tier 2

Toggle Spoiler

Complete the Industrial Area in less than 4 continues- Watch the same areas mentioned in the under 10 minutes notes.

Complete the Industrial Area in less than 6 minutes- Watch the same areas mentioned in the under 10 minutes notes.

Complete the Industrial Area with Guy- self explanatory. Unlocked during the Who's That Guy run.

Complete the Industrial Area Co-op- From the start of the level through to the end.

Tier 3

Toggle Spoiler

Complete the Industrial Area in less than 2 continues- One of the harder task in the Vault. Recommend using Haggar and only fighting the enemies you have to. Try to grab Rolento and take him out quickly to avoid to much damage from him or his grenades.

Complete the Industrial Area in less than 4:10- Watch the same areas mentioned in the under 10 minutes notes. This is the one speed run in which Haggar is very useful, his piledriver will make short work of Rolento.

Level 5 The Bay Area

Tier 1

Toggle Spoiler

Complete The Bay Area with Haggar- Self explanatory. Unlocked during Haggar-ed run.

Beat Abigail- Abigail is the boss of the Bay Area. He is basically like a strong Andore, but uses his rush attack and grabs more often. Also be on the lookout for his rage punch, he will turn red right before throwing it, you can cancel it by knocking him down just before he starts to rush.

Earn 250,000 points in the Bay Area- The Bay Area is a fairly long level with lots of enemies, so it's not hard to rack up some points. As always if you get to the boss of the stage and have not unlocked this just keep targeting the minions.

Complete the Bay Area in under 15 minutes- As said above this level is fairly long. There are quite a few areas where you can just walk straight pass the enemies and keep the stage moving. Some enemies will follow you but quickly disappear or just walk away. Keep moving, fight when you have too, and this should come fairly easy.

Tier 2

Toggle Spoiler

Complete the bay area in under 12 minutes- Same as in under 15 minutes, just keep moving forward.

Earn 400,000 points in the Bay Area- Same as 250,000 points. Watch for breakable items that may house bonus items.

Complete the Bay Area in under 9 minutes- Same as under 15 minutes. Easier in co-op.

Level 6 Uptown

Tier 1

Toggle Spoiler

Beat Belger- Belger is the Final boss of the game and he is a pain to fight. He moves around is a speed similar to Rolento and fires a crossbow/ bolt type gun. The gun shoots around 5 bolts each time it is fired and he can aim it straight or at an angle to counter a jump attack. While he is in his wheelchair he cannot be grabbed, and he will try to move out if caught in a combo. Playing against him in co-op will make the fight a bit easier as he can only target one player at a time, but he will move quickly between his enemies. Try to move around when approaching him and watch for him to stop moving, then cover some ground while he takes a shot and attack from his backside.

Complete Uptown in less than 30 lives- Uptown is the longest level with lots of enemies and some very cheap areas of combat. However a lot of enemies appear behind you and can simply be outrun. When you do have to fight try to keep the enemies to one side and watch out for your enemies knock down attacks.

Tier 2

Toggle Spoiler

Complete Uptown in less than 10 continues- Don't try to fight through this, just keep moving and save your lives and continues for Belger. Try to avoid and out run your enemies.

Toggle Spoiler

Beat Uptown in less than 7 continues- Same as less than 30 lives and 10 continues.

Beat the Uptown in less than 13 lives- Same as less than 30 lives.

Beat the Uptown in under 10 minutes- Getting through this level under time is the same as beating it in less lives, try to avoid unnecessary fights and keep moving forward. The one area that might slow you down, other than Belger, is the ground floor in front of the elevator- this is one of those areas where you will need to defeat everyone on the screen. There are a number of specialty enemies here; Andore Jr., Hollywood, Poison, etc. Co-op will make this easier.

Earn 570,000 points in the Uptown- It is not hard to earn points in Uptown, there are lots of enemies to fight your way through. However you still may find yourself short here if you overlook the hidden jewels and items. Once you get off the elevator and begin approaching the penthouse you will pass an area where several pillars obstruct your view of the stage. Behind these pillars are one to three different items, some are food, most are items worth bonus points. Note: Completing this item will unlock an episode of the SFII cartoon featuring Cody and Guy (it's terrible, yet hilarious).

Magic Sword Vault:

General

Tier 1

Toggle Spoiler

Complete all the levels in Co-op- Have your partner join during the first level and complete all 50 basic stages as a team. You can also complete some levels together in one run then finish up later. The item will unlock once you and your partner have stepped foot on each basic level together.

Earn 500,000 points on level 30- There is only a handful of enemies on this stage, so at first glance this seems almost impossible. Look for the Wizard floating around disappearing and reappearing. Strike the Wizard with a basic melee attack and he will disappear and reappear in the middle of the screen. Wait for him to summon a row of rocks above your head, then use your magic (attack + jump) to turn him and all the rocks into giant coins. Wait a few seconds and the Wizard will respawn, then just repeat the process till you hit the point total.
